13 Description: light, feature-packed weblog app with plugin extensibility
14 Blosxom (pronounced "Blossom") is a lightweight yet feature-packed
15 weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity,
16 usability, and interoperability in mind.
18 Fundamental is its reliance upon the file system, folders and files as
19 its content database. Blosxom's weblog entries are plain text files
20 like any other. Write from the comfort of your favorite text editor
21 and hit the Save button. Create, edit, rename, and delete entries on
22 the command-line, via FTP, WebDAV, or anything else you might use to
23 manipulate your files. There's no import or export; entries are
24 nothing more complex than title on the first line, body being
25 everything thereafter.
27 Despite its tiny footprint, Blosxom doesn't skimp on features,
28 sporting the majority of features one would find in any other Weblog
29 application. Additionally, Blosxom 2 includes support for plugins, and
30 thus much more extensive customization.
32 Blosxom is simple, straightforward, minimalist Perl affording even the
33 dabbler an opportunity for experimentation and customization. And
34 last, but not least, Blosxom is open source and free for the taking
